Blisworth Football Club adopted TeamFeePay’s fundraising feature to generate a new, sustainable income stream for the club. With minimal setup effort and ongoing support from their Account Manager, what started as a simple prize draw has become one of the club’s most consistent and low-maintenance sources of revenue.
Like many grassroots clubs, Blisworth FC needed a way to generate income beyond membership fees — something that didn’t place a heavy burden on volunteers or require significant ongoing effort to maintain.
The club also needed a solution that was accessible enough for all members to sign up to independently, without creating extra work for the committee.
Blisworth FC set up TeamFeePay’s fundraising feature with support from Account Manager Stephen Doherty, who got the prize draw up and running quickly and provided practical guidance on how to encourage member sign-ups from the outset. The monthly contribution was set at a level affordable enough that members were happy to set it up and leave it running — with some even continuing to participate after leaving the club.
To support members who struggled to sign up independently, the club displayed QR codes throughout the clubhouse, making it easy for anyone to get help from a committee member on the spot. Once set up, the scheme required virtually no ongoing input from the club.
The fundraiser has exceeded expectations and become a cornerstone of Blisworth FC’s income strategy. With 80 members entered and £300 paid out in monthly prizes, the club now generates approximately £500 per month — a net return achieved with minimal effort.
The support from TeamFeePay throughout has made the experience straightforward and stress-free, and Blisworth FC would not hesitate to recommend it to other clubs.
